Perfect little spot

Everything about this stay was perfect. The location was perfect. They have bikes available in the garage so you don’t have to worry about renting any which was a huge plus since that was our form of transportation. The communication with the property owner was excellent.Highly recommend and would stay again!

Adorable Cottage

A few of my family members stayed in this adorable cottage! It slept 4 adults and was within close proximity to the beach, bay, and shops on the boulevard. The back patio area was a great space to hangout at night under the lights. Overall, they really enjoyed their stay!

Perfectly situated between beaches, ocean or bay depending on your choice. Although small, the house is very functional. We in particular loved the patio. It was also terrific to have a garage but our Toyota CAMRY just fit in. Looking forward to our next stay!

The perfect place

With the beach just foot steps away I knew I would love this place. The cottage was perfect for our stay. The sights and sounds of Mission Blvd were exactly as I imagined. Everything was in close proximity which made seeing the sights that much easier. I highly recommend Josh and April’s quaint cottage. I look forward to a return trip next year.

A HIDDEN GEM!!

If you are looking for a clean, cozy vintage 1940's beach cottage this is a definite MUST STAY! Perfect for a couples get away -steps away from Mission Bay and a couple blocks from Pacific Beach, complete with restaurants, coffee shops and beach shops. Super tiny garage on site, but our SUV (Chevy Blazer) fit, and we walked everywhere. Definitely want to come back!! Thank you Josh & April!J Scholl

Fantastic

It was exactly as advertised. The space was very clean. The provided bikes were amazing as well, we used them the entire stay. The covered parking was great as well, no need to worry about fighting for street parking. I would definitely recommend staying here and we would love to come back in the future.

Vintage Beach Cottage with toys

Comfy cozy cottage in a very convenient location for walking to bay, beach and restaurants. Those over 6ft will not clear doorways, but the low ceilings are part of the charm. Both bed and couch were comfortable. Greatly appreciated the sand chairs, bikes and beach towels to use whenever we were inspired.

Had we known all of the doorways were less than 6’ tall we would have passed on this quaint little cottage. Other than that we enjoyed the location, having bikes available, walking on all the great paths up and down the coast and around the bay.

Wonderful overall

Perfect location for beach, bay, restaurants and shops. Host very helpful with adding extra night. A few things would help make 5 stars - White sleeper sofa covers were dirty on arrival amd need a wash and some outdoor seating cushions worn and torn. Only 2 bath towels so a few more helpful. A hair dryer would be great.

Cute house in perfect location

This little house is in the perfect location. You can walk either way and be at the ocean or bay within 3 minutes. Very clean & great space for 2 people. Nice private patio & garage which are a plus if you want to use either. The doorframes are definitely shorter, but exactly as described and we had no issues with space at all. The window AC unit was amazing & cooled off the entire place quickly. I will definitely be coming back!

Prime Location, great stay.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay. This is a very small home, which we are used to so we loved it. If you are more than 2 people you will want a larger place. Lots of old charm, and the location is perfect for walking to both bayside & pacific walkways & beaches. It's within walking distance to many restaurants & bars, and a full service grocery store. The hosts provided essential cooking utensils, pots and pans, microwave & coffee maker, and stove/oven. We cooked about 50% and ate out 50%. Hosts were very responsive upon check in and when we had questions, very accommodating. They provided beach chairs, beach towels and bikes too along with a nice gas grill and a nice outdoor seating area.

Fabulous

My daughter and I stayed here for Spring Break and I just can’t say enough how much we enjoyed our stay! The cottage is PERFECTLY located to everything. We didn’t have a car and were pretty much able to walk and bike to everything in the area. The cottage is the perfect size for a couple or other pair. We arrived at 1:00am and had no problem finding the place or getting inside. Josh was SUPER helpful and responded quickly if we needed anything. Would totally recommend this place!!! Loved it!

Rustic Beach pad

Got into property fine on a hot and humid day. A/C was a savior. Short doorways and ceilings not an issue for this 6'1" renter. Bathroom was small but sufficient. Moving in the tub felt like water sloshing under the tub. Walls stayed up while visiting, so our stay was nice. Location was hard to beat with walking distance to all amenities. Easy Uber access.

Awesome location

We loved our stay here. It was close to everything we needed. The beach on the ocean or the bay were just steps away. Plenty of places to eat within walking distance. The grocery store was only a 1/2 mile away. There are a couple bikes there to cruise around on. There are a couple beach chairs(back pack style) to take to the beach. We were able to park our Jetta in the garage. I’m 6’2” so I had to duck in a few low places in the ceiling of the house. We will return to this place when we go back to SD for some beach time.

Cute beach bungalow

Perfect little beach hut for my husband and I for a weekend. Great location, cute courtyard and we enjoyed the bikes. Interior cute but tight bedroom and bath but good shelves and hooks, linens and full length mirrors, lots of outlets. Down side was no pod coffee maker,low ceiling, smell of smoker but owner will address that, hard to find and small garage. Owner very responsive and seems to want to make your trip a great experience. Recommend a binder to explain ac and heater and tv (only smart tv). Oh, you can walk to great restaurants and 1/2 block to bay and then 1 1/2 block to Pacific and two beach chairs to go enjoy. We would rent again.

Adorable Beach House

First of all, the location was amazing. It was quiet and peaceful. We were just steps from Mission Bay beach and just a couple of blocks from Pacific Beach. The house was small, but exactly what we needed for our stay. It was sparkly clean and decorated in blues and whites that immediately gave you a "beach feel" when you entered. It had a good-sized, paved backyard with very nice outdoor furniture; a conversation set with couch and rockers, a table and chairs for outdoor dining and a fire pit that we enjoyed every night. The garage was small, but our Mercedes SUV fit inside with no problem. Josh, the owner, was very nice, accommodating to our wishes and, most importantly, easy to contact. We are definitely planning a return trip for a much longer stay!

Cute place, bad mold

Cottage location is really great. Good casual places to eat within walking distance. Lots of younger people there so we felt a bit like oldsters in that crowd. The place is sweet. Bad mold problem and I am allergic to mold so it was a tough week for me. Also, if you are over about 5 ft. 10 inches tall you will need to duck a lot. If I was 40 years younger and not allergic to mold it would have been the best. No microwave.
